UNE also recently made the Princeton Review’s “Best 381 Colleges” list and in July, the university made both Forbes’ list of “America’s Top Colleges for 2016” and Money magazine’s list of the “Best Colleges for Your Money.”
Seven other Maine-based schools made the ranks of the Regional Universities North:
